3rd Place in District Championship

Well I finished the year with a good showing at the district championship. After day 1, I was in 1st place by a couple pounds. At the start of day 2 our director had to point out that “nobody has won if they are in the lead going into day 2.” Well it turns out he was right. It was very windy and cold. I chose to work out of the wind and to work slow. I was not having a lot of luck but I was catching fish. They were not quite big enough though. Then I hooked up with a nice one that looked to be about 3.5 – 4lbs. I will never know because he wrapped my line around a sharp corner on a boat lift and proceeded to saw through my line. I must say, I am impressed with Power Pro line. It held up for five of his charges but finally gave out on number 6. I ended the day with 3 or 4 fish and only 5-6lbs. It was enough to place 3rd in the championship and 5th or 6th in the state for the year. I hope to better next year.
